What Are You Happy About Today?

fell asleep last night before i could post 😆 but yesterday wasn’t too bad!

• when posting on here, i actually have a really hard time with constructing my thoughts and how to word what i want to say, to the point that it leaves me feeling incredibly frustrated and hesitant to post. however, i actually was able to make most of my posts yesterday with ease, which made me really happy! it’s a rare occurrence but not an impossible one, so i have hope that it won’t always be like this. :)
• i’ve been having a hard time with sleeping lately as well, and have been feeling pretty cruddy because of it, but i actually slept good yesterday! finally being able to get some proper rest was amazing. ^^
• my mom bought me a chocolate bar while she was out yesterday! it was a cookies and creme twix; haven’t had one of those in a while, but i ate it earlier and it was quite yummy!
• cuddled with my kitty. 🖤



seeing this put a huge smile on my face. i’m so happy for you guys!! ☺💖

Thank you Xara!! :D
 
Got my package today. The shirt with a size 6 (UK) fit really well and I should try on the dress(UK 8), I mean I'm rather short-built even though I'm 170 cm's so yeah if I'd gone bigger it would have looked weird in places tbh lol.
 
We got the stroller we wanted, in the correct color!!! We were so sad to see that the price raised up to 820€, as this is way out of our budget. The seller was nice enough to sell it for us for the price we've seen it a few days ago, so 750€ :love:
 
  • bought some new books today inspired by my new found love for science! “the selfish gene” and “the god delusion” both by Richard Dawkins. Also, Stephen hawking’s “brief answers to the big questions”. I really wish I had been this curious whilst I was at school! Starting “the selfish gene” and already loving it after the first chapter. He does such a brilliant job at highlighting human hypocrisy.

  • met the friend who did my hair yesterday for a coffee and a proper catchup!

  • the sun was shining and I felt so summery and really enjoyed driving around and listening to music!
 
three things!

1. I made it to Alabama! I already feel so much happier here, the family dynamic/love is amazing 🥺 💞

2. the city I just graduated from school in signed a proclamation acknowledging the local LGBT+ group and pride month, and they're now flying progress flags downtown!! i wish i couodve seen it before i left! 🏳️‍🌈

3. Juneteenth was signed into law as a federal holiday today by Mr. Joe Biden and I couldn't be happier!
 
I can't believe it but I somehow managed to clean out my entire queue at work today. It was goal to have that done by the end of this week, but it wasn't looking so good because I had other things come up and I was in meetings most of today. But I focused, multi-tasked, didn't take any breaks, and I got it done! I'm so happy that I completed it by the deadline.

I have tomorrow off due to Juneteenth, which my company already began observing last year, so now I'm looking forward to the long weekend to recharge after this busy week.
 
I am so happy, I almost cried tears of joy when I saw her! Tbh, I still can't believe I was able to find the figurearts mini of Mitsuri Kanroji in stock, she was the last one! I had seriously given up on getting her because she's either never in stock or people are trying to sell her for 3x her original retail price. Ngl, I think the only reason I happened to find her is because her box is quite damaged and many figure collectors hate damaged boxes, but I guess that works in my favor since I don't care about her box (mainly because I don't plan on reselling her).

My pastel watermelon girl looks so good alongside my Inosuke Nendoroid, I love them 😊

My drawing is going better in spite making another mistake with the lining. I’d post a preview because I’m impatient and am really proud of how it looks so far but in the event I mess up and it ends up needing to be redone all over, I’ll wait (along with other reasons). I can’t wait to post it though. This project was originally just going to be a few characters - one would be from the game and two others would be from AC or something like that but, I ended up doing the whole team from the game plus a few AC characters 😅. Been working on this for a few days now. Got a good idea for a fusion of an AC character and game creature from Nef :). I should have made it look a bit more like the AC villager though (maybe it will help once I color it).
 
I had kind of a tough day today, some tears were shed tbh.. but at the end of it now I'm feeling a lot better. After my bad morning this morning I had a nap which helped me out a lot. There was leftovers to eat for supper so I didn't have to cook, which is always extra appreciated when I'm having a bad day. Lastly I also got to talk to my friend (she's having a rough time as well) and I think it really lifted her spirits. Making her feel better made me feel a lot better too. So overall the day is ending on a pleasant note and I'm happy I was able to turn things around for myself.
 
Tried on that dress I mentioned earlier and surprisingly it fit pretty well(had to get a size 8 and was bit afraid my hips would be a roadblock but it sits good on there!)

Surprised how "large" UK sizes are tbh or I'm just small haha.
 
I finally finished my dress!!

This one took me forever and I definitely hit some road bumps along the way. I started calling it a cursed dress because of all the hiccups 😅 but it’s finished now! I might fix up the hem one day but not today. I’m wearing it today and I’m really happy with it! It’s a pretty soft peachy pink colour which is perfect for summer and I love all the the little flowers. I lined it (which is the biggest reason it took so long) so the skirt is extra fun to twirl in! This is probably the best zipper I’ve put in so far, too.

I’m going to keep my eye out for a belt to wear with it (the belt I’m currently wearing is a step away from breaking whoops) but all in all I’m just so happy with how it turned out. 🥰

With some of the stores being re-opened I was able to pick up some new fabric too! I have this pretty purple fabric that I’m excited to use. I don’t think there will be enough to make a dress but I’ll be able to make a skirt!

I’ve also swapped my signature & avatar over to my second set of pride themed drawings! A big thank you to @Neprezi for the avatar and @Aquilla for the signature 🥰
